Cooper - 3 Months Old!!

My big boy is now a whopping three months old! ;) Time is going SO FAST and I'm sad to say that I'll be heading back to work next week. While I'm sad (and nervous) to leave him, I also feel SO BLESSED to have stayed home with him for this long!Here's how Cooper is doing compared to the milestones in What to Expect the First Year:Stats:Weight: I'm guessing between 15-16 lbs.Diapers: Size 2Clothes: Still some 0-3 months, all of his 3 months, and a lot of his 3-6 months. I'll be washing all of his 6 month stuff this week!

8:00 -8:30 down for a nap

10:30 eat

11:30 down for a nap

Cooper can do all of the things that a three month old baby should be able to do:

-on stomach, lift head up 45 degrees

Cooper can do all of the things that a three month old baby will probably be able to do:

-laugh out loud (he's still working on it - it's more like a dog panting - but he's trying!)

-on stomach, lift head up 90 degrees

-squeal in delight (I LOVE this!)

-bring both hands together

-smile spontaneously

-follow an object held about 6 inches above his face and follow it 180 degrees

Cooper can do some of the things that a three month old may possibly be able to do:

-hold head steady when upright

-roll over (one way) [he actually can go both ways!]

There are three things that Cooper can not do from the "may possibly" section:

-on stomach, raise chest, supported by arms

-grasp a rattle held to backs or tips of fingers

-pay attention to an object as small as a raisin (again - I just haven't tried this one!)

Cooper can do some of the things that a three month old baby may even be able to do:
